Rule: Create Entity Record

Use the Create Entity Record rule to add a new record to an entity which was imported from Data Service in your app.

Which entity should record be created in?

Clicking the Which entity should record be created in? field opens the Resources panel, which displays the available imported Data Service entities.

Select the entity to add a new record to by double-clicking on it. Once selected, the following properties become available:

• Values to set
• When created
• On Error

Values to set

Once you add the entity you want to work with, the fields for a new record are listed in this section. Mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk.

When created

In this section you can define rules to be executed right after the creation of a new entity record is complete.

For example: You can display a success message after the record is created using the Show Message rule and selecting Success from the Type dropdown.

On Error

In this section you can define rules to be executed when the process of creation a new record encounters an error.

For example: To track the failure, you can add a Show Message rule. You can then specify the title, message, and type of the error.

Rule output properties

• Error - references the error message shown if the job fails.
• RecordId - references the ID of the specified record.
